Spiez hotels

Pros: Breakfast was generous and delicious, with a variety of breads, cheses, eggs any which way you want it, smoked salmon, black and herbal teas, excellent coffee, among other items. Table linens, cutlery and crockery were elegant as well. Linens in the room were of superior quality and monogrammed. Staff was consistently attentive and helpful. Good spa treatments, relaxation area and lovely outdoor garden and pools.

Pros: The sauna was nice. WiFi was great. Breakfast was pretty nice and room was also nice with a very spacious balcony.

Cons: When we arrived the staff tried to up-sell us to a bigger room because they said two baby cots wouldn’t fit. We said it’s not a problem because our eldest could sleep in bed with us, when we arrived in the room we thought there was plenty of space so asked for another cot and they told us it wasn’t available. ??? But then why try to up sell us??? We asked them to double check and they found one that was older and a bit dirty, which we agreed to use. They tried to charge us for this second baby cot which we thought was weird. In the end, our first impression was the feeling of the hotel trying to make more money off of us rather than hosting us. Staff misinformed us about sauna being closed even though it wasn’t.

Pros: Amazing breakfast, very nice spa and good room.

Cons: The photos are misleading in the sense I thought I'd have a view to the lake from the common areas, which is not true.

Pros: Amazing views, spa facilities are well worth the money. Great amenities in the room, many thoughtful touches and modern design.

Pros: Every staff we met are really friendly and provided helpful guidance. Really enjoy the stay at this hotel. Breakfast is also fantastic, and is the best one comparing with other three hotels we stayed in the Switzerland. Spa pool and sauna are also worthy visiting.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Would love to come back if you give us some free stay

Pros: Clean, great views, lots of facilities, close to station and very friendly and accommodating staff.

Cons: Breakfast maybe could have started earlier, but when asked for an earlier breakfast for travel reasons, they always obliged.

Pros: The room is tidy and clean. The location is just next to the supermarket. Also it is very close to train station so that it is very convenient to plan the journey if you taking trains.

Pros: great location

Pros: Very close to the train station!

Cons: Room a little bit small..

Pros: outdoor sunning area was very nice as well as large, perfect temperature jetted pool

Cons: Balcony looking down over diners at dinner not very cozy and detracted from the great view.

Pros: Every thing

Cons: The bathroom was open to take shower

Pros: lovely little hotel with very good facilities, staff where friendly and polite

Pros: This hotel was spectacular. Laying down at the private dock on the lake was so relaxing. The views were breathtaking. Our meal at the restaurant was one of the best of our lives.

Pros: This hotel was excellent! The view from both mountain and lake side rooms were breathtaking! A rooftop panoramic view was a lovely place to sit and relax. Outside terrace's with views of the lake were incredible. We happened to be sitting outside at 4:00 when a waiter came out to serve us free pastries and coffee for 'tea time' At check in a cool wash cloth was handed to us to refresh. At check out, we were each given a bottle of water for the road. Our whole visit was just delightful!

Pros: It is very family friendly. The prepared for my daughter crib, cute small slippers, small bath robe, etc. The view is beautiful from the infinity pool and they have a nice small garden. Staff was really nice too.

Cons: none.

Pros: Food at the hotel is the best. If you are looking for best food then this is the best place to be in. Specially Dinner.

Cons: Its not value for money. I would expect/get better room and facilities for the amount i paid.

Pros: View is very nice, staff are nice and helpful and the breakfast was very good.

Cons: All good, but the balcony need to be more private and better to be closed especially if you travel with children.

Pros: The balcony facing the lake

Cons: Breakfast is very poor. Also the hotel is little fare from the center. Although I found a buss station there

Pros: The place is very cozy and clean it smells so good. The location is perfect just 30 sec to thun lake and the Restaurant Möve is so delicious I would recommend it to a friend it close to the supermarket, gas station, and pharmacy. The lady who owns the place is very welcoming and helpful she helped us to get to many activities and booked a bike ride for us using the hotel discount. She was very generous she is the right person to represent Swiss.

Cons: Everything was great, I like the experience

Pros: The hotel location is very nice and the view is absolutely beautiful. The room is spacious and clean. The breakfast could be a bit more variety but overall was impressive.

Pros: Comfortable room with a lovely view .Friendly helpful staff.

Pros: The owner is very helpful and friendly. One of the cleanest hotels in Interlaken area. Big rooms and worth the money!

Pros: I chose the Boutique Hotel Riviera because of its location and price. It was the very first hotel I experienced with a self check in process. It was an interesting experience. The room was very comfortable and the location just perfect. The WiFi was good and the breakfast adequate.

Cons: I have noting bad to say about this hotel.

Pros: The associated restaurant was fabulous, good food, and good service

Cons: The self check-in didn’t work so well, tried several times to scan ID card, not accepted, but access gained anyway, based on booking number and surname. Lights in the room did not work 100%, room smelt musky or stale on arrival, Shower screen doors did not join together when closed (room 3)

Pros: Clean and nicely located. Restaurant on site.

Cons: Noisy. PORTABLE AC unit. Vented through open window. Small room.

Pros: I liked the room and the breakfast. Simple, but enough.

Cons: It was easy, but long to check in. There were a lot of people to check in when we arrived and it requested to give all the details that we already gave in the online page when we booked the room. It could be faster. And it should be a little bit cheaper as we do everything ourselves...

Pros: Clean and comfortable for one night. Ferry right outside if you need to get onto one to see other nearby areas. Breakfast was good. Restaurant staff were helpful as the reception was closed.

Cons: Didn't realise how far down from the train station this property was. When booking we were fine with distance but then it is at the bottom of the hill and carting the bags down and then back up was exhausting. We had two bags with four wheels which weighed about 15 kgs each. Couldn't find a taxi and so no bus service. Maybe if the property can provide some options. The room was a tad small but for one night not a big issue. The bathroom light needs to be fixed as it took ages to turn on.

Pros: Maybe the view. It’s good.

Cons: Bad location. I know the view is good but it's difficult for a single traveller to get here. Imagine a single young lady with a big luggage walking almost 25 minutes from the station in a rainy night, then the whole road without people. When I passed by the castle, suddenly some wind bells ring…… So horrible! But I had no choice because the hotel did not offer shuttle bus and there was no bus station in front of the hotel. No services in the winter means no one couls help me when I failed to check in with the machine. And also today when I was leaving, no one could help me to ask a taxi.

Pros: Worst. Firstly, regret going to Spiez and then absolutely regret going to this hotel. Nothing to say about what we liked about the property

Cons: 1. No elevator. Although there was only first floor for the hotel, no elevator and we carried our luggages to the room on the first floor (second floor, it might be in some countries) 2. Thought location would be good but it’s far from station and supermarket. To go to the station, we had to climb stiff uphill while carrying our luggages which are freaking heavy. In the night, we run out of water and went down to the restaurant and paid 9 chf for a bottle of water. 3. Self check-in? We waited half an hour to do check in because people before us took looooong time to use the machine for self check-in and eventually one staff came to help. 4. Breakfast is from 8 to 10. Usually, it’s from 6 to 10 in other hotels. i and my parents had to leave at 7.40 and a day before, a staff said they will prepare small boxes for breakfast, but they DIDN’T. How irresponsible! 5. No service to pick up. We saw other hotels provide a service to take them to the station but this hotel which is located far away and is needed to climb stiff uphills to get to the station does not. Even no bus near there. Don’t choose if you don’t have a car. It may be slightly okay if you have a car at least. 6. Room is super hot and squeezed. They only put some fan? But it does not work well. And fridge wasn’t working well. It takes long time to make water cool. 7. We paid more money to enjoy the view from the balcony. Even adding one extra bed, not choosing a studio for three persons. Just for the balcony. But the view was disappointing, nothing to see. 8. Small flies in the room, annoying to sleep in the night. 9. Water pressure is low. 10. Due to this hotel, I would not go to Spiez again. I and my parents were totally disappointed. We booked another hotel and changed our reservation to this hotel due to good reviews and due to having a balcony. But it was my huge mistake and I’m truly sorry for my parents. No thanks at all.

Pros: It very beautifully place. I will come again.

Cons: No have bad.

Pros: The breakfast was fine with all the usual European treats. The property is truly pretty and the view from our room was amazing. Walking around the facilities is very pretty and we were very close to the castle and were able to walk around it as well.

Cons: On the map, this looks quite close to the train. When you get there, you realize that the hotel is at the bottom of the hill. So, we took a taxi. As an older couple not used to walking hills, we did manage to walk up the hill to the train one time while we were there. Lots of things are closed in the winter.

Pros: Great location on the lake, welcoming and helpful staff, included breakfast, restaurant onsite

Cons: The decor, furnishings and ensuite bathroom are quite dated. Although seemingly clean the room didn’t smell very fresh on arrival. The buffet breakfast had a decent choice but wasn’t great on flavour in my opinion.

Pros: Very comfortable, location was superb, excellent value for money. Very good breakfast included. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the tea /coffee facilities in the room, which in my experience is not very common in Europe. When I booked the room was described as having a "Castle view" - which was correct. But my room was actually on the corner, so I also had a view of the lake :-)

Pros: The staffs working here are so friendly. The girl in the reception is beautiful and passionate who gave us a lot of help and useful information for our trip, which made us comfortable. I liked the breakfast they provided as well. Especially there was an old gentleman whose quality was like the owner of the hotel and he served us the breakfast each morning very carefully. We had very good chatting about our travel and some feelings. I think he is really knowledgeable.

Pros: Nice staff and prefect views

Pros: Wonderful staffs-they really do their best for guests, clean room and beautiful view.

Cons: I noticed when I check-out that there were lots of useful things on 3rd floor! Haha

Pros: • good location • sparkling clean • good dedicated parking

Cons: • uncomfortable pillows • super noisy cleaning staff. They started cleaning rooms on our floor super early on a Saturday (8am). Had there been only the vacuum cleaner sounds maybe it would have been fine, but there were two cleaning ladies who were keeping their room doors open and loudly talking to each other over the hallway while cleaning. It was impossible to sleep in (we were tired and wanted to sleep until 9-9:30). I think it’s generally unacceptable for staff to behave as if there are no guests in the hotel.

Pros: The room was nice, spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the fact that we had the room with partially the lake view. However the breakfast could be done a lot better and in our opinnion was not worth the money. It was only coffee/tea and juice. However when it came to the food then never have we seen so small and poor variety of things. Firstly we entered the breakfast area was almost empty and so were the are were the food is usually placed. There was only bread with some jam next to it and some breakfast cereal with yoghurt and canned fruit mix.

Cons: Breakfast

Pros: The Indian girl who checked us in was excellent. Very knowledgable about the area , restaurants etc. She walked us to our room and we were touched to see it decorated for our anniversary and she was equally as thrilled and excited for us. Loved everything about our stay. The view of lake Thun and spiez castle was incredible!

Pros: Very modern from the outside. The room was well-appointed with down comforters and pillows! Beautiful views and had an outside balcony/patio.

Cons: Really early checkout time (0900), but it worked out ok.

Pros: Everything! Not a bad word to say. From the very pleasant check-in, to the lovely breakfast room, and right through to check out, this was an amazing place to stay. Friendly and helpful staff, lovely simple breakfast, and a fabulous twin room with a magnificent view. I was so sorry to leave.

Pros: The hotel is in an excellent location right on the lake wonderful views and getting around with the free bus pass is a great idea.

Cons: Well sitting on your balcony with a nice freshly made cup of coffee when the sun is rising is a wonderful idea. The hotel does provide you with a coffee machine but if you want to make coffee you have to buy some pods at €4 a pop. Now even if you bring your own pods I mean we all do that also the sugar and milk to go with it so you are set to have your coffee. This hotel does NOT i repeat Not supply you with cups to drink your coffee out of I was told €4 or Swiss Francs. Mind you buying a cup of coffee there is a bit of a mystery as I was charged 3 different prices by 3 different staff members. So Management cop on you have a lovely hotel in a fantastic location and you stinge on the basics.

Pros: Wonderful location directly on the Lake, amazing view, very nice & friendly team , available park places, clean rooms.

Cons: Quality of the Beds

Pros: Very clean hotel with amazing position between lake and mountain range. Lake is literally 2 meters from hotel terrace. I have booked room with mountain view and it was also stunning. There was not a problem to re-book my stay to different day as I have to change my travel schedule and reception staff was very helpful with my change. Room itself was very clean and spacious, with sofa + coffe table, cabinets, office desk and TV with mostly german channels (+ a few english channels). My colleague appreciated hot water maker at room and balcony. Bathroom was little bit "oldschool", but super clean and spacious, with free towels included. Breakfast have basic selection, but with high quality food, such as fresh bread and pastry, local cheese, ham, salami and other usual stuff. Overall it was BEST breakfast I have at any hotel in years! WIFI was very good. And check-out was without any problems and fast.

Cons: Room could have some more decoration to make it cozier.

Pros: - SPA bathroom: super experience - very gentle staff - restaurant: quality food and good service

Pros: Amazing view! Magic place. Staff really nice and helpful

Pros: close to the station and lake

Cons: Breakfast was very poor value for money. Just a croissant, tea and juice.

Pros: Proximity to rail station.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good for the station, excellent pizzeria, v friendly staff. Rooms spacious and comfortable.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nice clean hotel with delicious restaurant, friendly staffs.

Pros: Good breakfast. Clean room. Friendly owners.

Cons: The rooms by the road can have a lot of noise from traffic.

Pros: Very friendly staff and a good breakfast. Rooms at the back were quiet, with a nice countryside outlook.

Cons: The furnishings and decor are dated, and my mattress was sagging.

Pros: Clean room & bath, Good breakfast

Cons: No free WiFi in the room

Pros: Great experience with friendly staff and comfortable room. I would recommend it to anyone.

Pros: I read a lot of reviews about this place before booking it, and hence did not expect much. It however was better than expected. I booked a single room with shared bathrooms but the owner kindly upgraded it to a en suite room. Everything in the room was quite good, had nothing to complain about.

Pros: It was a great location and they very kindly extended our stay to an extra night.

Cons: I had asked for twin beds and first they gave me a double. It was not a problem to change it but the room they gave us was not in the best repair and the carpet needs replacing. Cat

Pros: The location and the balcony were great

Cons: The bedding was dirty and itchy

Pros: Location is a lake side location and very convenient for a lake side walk or any activities in the lake. The balcony is a bonus to enjoy the early morning sunrise breath taking views. Ample space of rooms, with 4 adults and 3 kids we didn't feel any congestion. Kitchen looks newly fitted and has got all the appliances and cutlery needed for a house/accommodation. Staffs are helpful

Cons: Though the bathrooms were clean it was smelly, it may be the drainage system which needs the maintenance. And I notice some water drippings or leakage, one in the sink while using it and another at the connection between the shower pipe and the shower head while using the shower. Two double beds provided are clean and comfy however one of the single bed's mattress which I slept on seems quite old and needs changing, the mattress's spring literally poked out.

Pros: The staff was awesome! It was close to the lake, which we liked.

Cons: It wasn't close to the train station, but there is a bus stop not too far. Just didn't want to take the time to figure it out. The place is pretty run down and out dated, but it looks like they might be trying to fix it up.

Pros: View from balcony not bad.

Cons: The room was desperately in need of an upgrade. Carpet dirty, vinyl skirting in barthroom held on with sticky tape. Beds worn out. Wallpaper peeling off walls and smell of smoke. Reception not manned. Does not deserve a three star rating. One at best.

Pros: The view from the balcony is speechless, beautiful. The bedroom is cozy and comfy. Amazing!
